A seated devotee in a white dhoti and white shawl with a gold border sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lifted in devotion. Multiple rudraksha mala strands hang around his neck and a small red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him, a crowd of devotees sits in white and saffron clothing, and a young boy in orange robes sits at left. The setting is a large gathering.

Two people in an indoor hall with a red curtain and white hanging decorations. In the foreground a man in a peach-coloured kurta wears rudraksha beads, a red lanyard with an ID badge, and round glasses; he has a red tilak on his forehead and holds his hands up while another person's hand rests on his head. The second person, seen from behind with dark hair, wears an orange shawl. Another man in white clothes appears at the right edge. No clearly distinctive a person cues are visible in the foreground figures, so the identity is uncertain.

A large hall with a red floor is filled with seated devotees in white and red-and-white clothing, many wearing red shoulder sashes and rudraksha or beaded necklaces. In the centre a standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds his palms together in anjali, wearing a red-and-white beaded mala and an ID badge. Seated people nearby have hands raised and eyes closed, and a man in orange robes sits at the left. Water bottles and small booklets lie on the floor. The scene appears to be a satsang or group meditation session. No clearly identifiable a person is visible in the scene.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-maroon border sits cross-legged on a mat with his palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, wearing rimless glasses, a red bindi and a dark rudraksha mala. Brass puja vessels, a small lamp, a plate with flowers and a steel bowl sit on a low table in front of him. Behind him, men in white dhotis with gold or red borders and white tripundra marks on their foreheads sit with hands folded or holding objects, with other seated devotees in a hall with red curtains.

Photograph of an indoor gathering at an ashram-style hall with dark walls and warm lighting. In the foreground, a figure in an orange-saffron top with long dark hair, seen from behind, faces a young man in a white shirt wearing a gold chain and a visitor badge; he looks on intently while a man in a white shirt raises his hand in a blessing-like gesture. Behind them, a woman in a red top, another man, and a few onlookers stand among floral garlands with purple and white blooms at the right edge. The orange-clad figure is a sannyasi-style devotee in saffron; no clear face-based identification is made. Several people are visible, roughly four to six, with others partly out of frame.

A close photograph of a shaven-headed man in saffron-orange robes sitting with palms pressed together in namaste at his chest, eyes lowered, with a small red tilak on his forehead and a gold bangle and wristwatch visible. Behind him, through glass railings, other devotees in orange and white robes sit in a ritual gathering, and at the lower right a hand holds a small brass plate with yellow offering. No readable name is attached to this figure, and the appearance cues are only a shaved head and orange robe, so identity is uncertain.
